Feature Licenses

Introduction

• There are aspects of the VR that have software options that can be purchased either at

the time of sale, or later.

• This section will cover the mechanisms used to apply these features

• When a feature license is purchased after delivery of the product, it is delivered to the

customer as a “UPF” file assigned to specific serial numbers provided by the customer.

• Each product has different set of licensing options. For a complete list of factory-installed

and field upgrade licensed features, see the Ordering Guides on the Futurecom website

(Support → Documentation and Software → DVR-LX/DVR/VRX1000)

License Delivery

• Customer will be provided a hyperlink to access and download the license file

electronically.

• A License file (*.UPF) contains licensing that enables or disables specific feature(s) and

the serial numbers of the VRs they have been purchased for (application of licenses is

restricted to only the serial numbers provided).

• The license file can be applied to repeater via FRC (direct connection) or Radio

Management (via DCD file). Refer to RM-OTAP User Guide on Futurecom website

Management).
